Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau allegedly refused to talk to the Canadian Truckers but instead ordered a clampdown on them with emergency powers.
A Canadian sociologist tore down the PM as a dictator responsible for invoking extra power forcibly breaking up the anti-vaccine mandate protestors.
This development is seen as an inability for him to effectively deal with the protesters through dialogue.
Canadian Government Rips Democracy
Ashley Frawley, a sociologist and a Swansea University lecturer talked to GB News about how the actions were taken by the PM to forcibly stop the protest after three weeks. Protestors were clearly against the vaccine mandates and other means to impinge on the freedom and liberty of Canadians.
The unthinkable spectacle of authoritarianism and forcing the truckers to stop a lawful assembly had no violence like the BLM uprisings in the US.
This is one of the largest operations by police forces that led to the arrest of 191 people, impounding 76 of their rigs, reported the Express UK.
The Canadian government ripped democracy from the country, promising changes to come on this day.Frawley stated that Trudeau is the epitome of someone who can get away with a fascist bent.
She added that giving leaders a free pass to do anything at their whims and use the right buzzwords for some illegal. Add up the excuse it is done for the right things, but in reality, twists the facts to suit their goals, noted the Daily Advent.
Called it nothing more than another way to exert control at all costs, just because it can be done. Trudeau is backed up by a willing cadre too.

Trudeau Labeled as Dictator
Frawley mentioned that the action was taken by Trudeau not resolving it peacefully, but using brute force is not new.
He just did what dictators who amplified a minor threat that did not deem harsh action. The truckers were never a threat. It was the Canadian PM waiting for a chance to show who was in control. Now it's the new and order.
The PM went on the warpath and called the protestors everything, even white supremacists. He used the language of the leftist Democrats in the US.
Moreover, it was unfair to smear these truckers then prop them up as the worst threat to Canadians. Next, use it to invoke powers to slam them undemocratically; later ignore their rights.
She describes Trudeau in critical analysis, saying that he is photogenic and kindly powerful. He did next to look good while taking away democratic rights with civil rights and getting away with it.
The sociologist said that people fall for what has been done; without protest. All the because the leader says nice-sounding words.
This affable PM ordered last Friday a brutal breakup to end the protest that he could not stop, and the truckers were treated like criminals. A combo of anti-riot police and mounted regiments did the dispersal in Ottowa.
Both Ontario and Ottawa, where the protest was at, had states of emergency declared to set up the use of the Emergencies Act to muscle. This would allow rights trampled and shield the PM from criticism from the actions that followed.
Trudeau, according to Frawley, got away with a lot that broke democracies back because the PM could not deal with it. Delving into a dictatorship that will be reviled; can only happen in other places, but it did in Canada.
